My 2 yo is terrified of fans. Any kind of fan. Ceiling fan, oscillating fan, Exhaust fan, vacuum. (The exhaust fan & vacuum is nothing new- I thought it was just the noise) but today it warmed up & we were cleaning so we turned on the fans & ds refused to go into any room where the fan was on. He was clinging to me & burying his face into my shoulder/neck. I hope this passes or else it's gonna be a hot sweaty summer!

Our good friends have a son who is terrified of curtain rod finials. he's a cautious guy in general, but this is his only "weird" fear. I think its normal for little ones to be afraid of random things that don't make sense to them. They covered the ones in his room with kitchen towels,but the rest in the house are uncovered.

My 4 yo went thru that phase. To the point we couldn't go in a store that had ceiling fans.

Lol, I think it's normal. My 2yo is scared of "honk honks" (fire/smoke detector). Ours went off once because the battery was low. It was interesting trying to get her down the hall to her room for a few weeks.

On the other hand, my 11mo think all loud things like the vacuum or coffee grinder are great, and belly laughs at them.

And we aren't even Korean :/

I thought I maybe should explain myself... this could seem racist if you don't know what Korean fan death is. Anyways a whole generation of Koreans believe that of you sleep with the fan on you will die due to some unfortunate propaganda. I have several friends whose parents freak out if they sleep with the fan on, I always found it hilarious
